June is designated as Homeschool Copyright Ethics Awareness MonthApril 15, 2007 -- With so much to learn as a homeschooler, who knew that some homeschoolers fail the copyright test? As with many educators in the country, the Educational Fair Use Policy can be confusing, making it easy for educators, even home educators, to think it's okay to copy something if it's for the education of children. But exactly what are we teaching those children when we break the law for free material?

With a short video on the site, along with the "Copyright Quiz," CSP, a group of authors and publishers, have developed an informative copyright awareness site to educate the educators. Believing in copyright literacy, this video is free for anyone to use on their web site or to show at a convention, support group meeting, or homeschool co-op. The educational video will be available June 1 on YouTube.

Anyone can receive copyright enlightenment with articles on the copyright ethics awareness web site at homeschoolcopyright.com. There are articles written by publishers, lawyers, and homeschool parents detailing what homeschooling families should know about copyright law. You'll also read about educational fair use, plagiarism, and personal integrity. While you're there, take the "Copyright Quiz" and grab the "Help Fight Copyright Ignorance" web site button.
